Lords Cricket Ground July 2008

Saturday of the First Test between England and South Africa - England took 10 SA wickets and enforced the follow-on - their last good day until the series was won by South Africa.

Shetland June 2008

Another week back on Shetland - about as far north as we can go without needing a passport (although BA get very grumpy if you don't have one flying from London to Aberdeen - has independence gone further than I realised?). This time we rented a splendid cottage at the Pool of Virkie - and for the first time did see the tide in at the Pool. A few good days birdwatching, and a little bit of retail therapy to help prop up the local economy.
